POLITICAL
BRIEFS
Orlando, Fla. (Special) Senat-
: Charles O. Andrews is a cer-
tain winner in his race for re-elec-
tion it was predicted here Thurs-
day in a poll conduclied by the Or.
lando Morning' Sentinel among
7.him delegates to the convention of
the Florida Education Association,
reporter worked haphnz-
among the school officials
and teachers, u-^ing the question.
"Who do you think will carry your
unty for United States Sena-
tor?" With one exception Che an-
swer was "Senator Andrews" and
the majority of those questioned
amplified their opinion by the
statement that they think he will
i i re-nominated in the first pri-
mary.
Concluding question in this
crOSS-SectiOII revealed that thus,
interviewed were as widely separ-
ated as P'ensacola and Miami,
with numerous scattered counties
in state-wide array.
Dan Chappell, well known in po
licical and civic circles for a long
number of years- is now a candi-
date for State Senator in the com-
ing elections. He served as State
Representatives for a number of
lyears. Pledging himself to be
Itruly a representative of Dade
[County, Mr. Chappell has among
the planks of his platform the es-
tablishment of a medical school in
Florida, a guaranteed revenue suf-
ficient to pay the school teach-
ers an adequate salary.
Judge Paul D. Barns, a candi-
I date for re-election to the bench
of the Circuit and Civil Court,
[which he has occupied for four-
I teen years, attributes whatever le-
[gal erudition possessed by him
to the lawyes of the Dade County
[bar and his study of nationwide
[legal reports. Those coming in
[contact with Judge Barns claims
[him as one of, if not the ablest
j members of the Florida circuit,
[although his judgeship is not based
I so much on his mastery of the
law, but rather, his hold on the
[affections of the people which are
[ascribed to his interpretation of
justice. His success, they say, is
based on equity that guarantees
every defendant, every plaintiff,
whelher represented by brilliant
or mediocre legal talent, fair and
impartial hearing. They point
out Judge Barns is known for the
fact that "He doesn't play ball."
but rather that he fails to take
the easiest way out of law cases
appearing in his court even
though he might lose some of his
popularity and insists on delving
deeper into the merits of a hear-
ing, yet withal, his decisions when
taken to a higher court, generally
are upheld because of the wisdom,
thoroughness, and the justice ex-
pounded-

City will address the Sunday eve-
ning Dinner meeting if the South-
ern Regional Conference, Council

day evening meeting will be "The

Warburg, who is chairman of the
Resettlement Department and a
member of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Nati inal Refugee
Service, will speak in "Receiving
New Coiners" and will describe
the work of the National Refugee
.Service in aiding the process ol

the American scene.
The Conference will open on

posium on "Jews as Good Neigh-
bors."
A round table period on Sunday

Nazis Execute
Jewish Prisoners
Ralph Pole, Justice of the
Peace for the Fifth District. Mi-
ami Beach, is a candidate for re-
election in the coming primaries.
Judge Pole has been a resident of
Miami Beach for 16 years coming
here from Philadelphia, and served
as Judge of the Miami Beach Mu-
nicipal Court before seeking elec-
tion as Justice of the Peace in
1932. He bases his qualifications
(Continued on Page Four)
Amsterdam (WNS)Two hun-
dred and eighty Jewish soldiers,
captured last September with the
Polish army, were executed by
Nazi firing squads last month, it
was reliably reported here.
Before their execution the Jew-
ish war prisoners were compelled
to dig their own graves.
With disregard for treaties pro-
viding for humane treatment of
wir prisoners, all Jewish soldiers
who had fought with the Polish
army have been singled out and
sent to special concentration
camps.
Because of overcrowded condi-
tions in the concentration camps
the Nazi authorities recently de-
cided to send Jews taken prisoner
during the war to the Lublin Jew-
ish "reservation." ,' Examination
of their birth certificates disclos-
ed, however, that 280 of the Jew-
ish prisoners were born in that
part of Poland which formerly be
longed to Russia.
The Jews were packed into op-
en cattle trains and transported,
without food, to the Soviet bor-
der. The soldiers were refused ad-
mittance by Soviet authorities
who claimed that the Jews were
no longer Soviet subjects
The Nazi commander in charge
of the prison train then ordered
the men executed. They were
shot down by machine gun squads
close to the Soviet border. The
Jewish community was compelled
to sign affidavits stating that the
men had frozen to death.
U. S- Visas
Await Poles
London (WNS) Appr ximate-
ly 5,000 immigration visas to the
United States are available to
Poles under the present quota,
which expires at the end of June
but there is no method of distri-
bution since the Nazi'authorities
have ordered all American con
BUlar officials 10 leave Roland, it
was disci sod here.
Current American quota pro-
vides for 6,000 immigration visas.
Because distribution of the visas
was stopped when the Nazis in-
vaded Roland last September on'y
1,000 of these visas have been is-
sued.
When the American officials
were ordered to leave Warsaw
there were more tha 5,000 appli-
cants registered with the consul-
ate. The distribution of the visas
among these Polish Jews may
mean the difference between life
and death.
Diplomatic circles here are
confident that the application of
pressure by Americans on Wash-
ington will result in the distri-
bution of the unused visas. It
was suggested here that American
consuls now in Berlin could make
visits to Warsaw from time to
time to distribute the visas.
It is probable that Polish citi-
zens now living in Germany may
be able to receive the visas when
the Warsaw American consulate
opens offices in Berlin.

TIDBITS FROM EVERYWHERE
(BY PHINEAS J. UIRON)
Italy Enforces
More Laws
Rome (WNS) New Economic
restrictions against Jewish mer-
chants and professionals seemed
inevitable here as trade and pro-
fessional associations moved to
deprive .lews of membership ami
licenses.
The Italian Commerce Associa-
tion has announced that Jews will
be denied renewal of licenses for
coffee stands and tobacco shops
at the end of the year. The Asso.
ciation stipulated also that the
Jews may not sell or transfer
their licenses to "Aryans."
It was learned also that the
unions of lawyers and physicians
in Ancona have warned their mem-
bers not to accept Jewish clients
or patients except in instances of
greatest emergency and for hu-
manity's sake.
THINGS WE'VE HEARD
The Duke of Coburg, now in this country to get the American Red
i'm>. to cooperate with the German Red Cross, of (hich he is the
President, was one of Hitler's first big hackers, you might like to know
. And while carrying on negotiations to get good American dollars
into his clutches he's doing quite a bit of collecting on the side, from
Nazi groups who are only too happy to contribute to Hitler's funds
. There's a racial angle to the willingness of the Dominican Re-
public to accept refugee immigration from Cermany .... Because of
the high birth-rate among the West Indian Negroes the white masters
of the Republic welcome any Caucasian immigration .... Did you know
that Henry Shapiro. United Press correspondent at .Moscow, scooped
all his colleagues on the Kussn-Finaish pact? .... His success was due
to his linguistic ability it seems he's the only American newspaper
man in Moscow who can redllv speak Russian fluently .... Sidelight
on the new "Aryan" morality: Hitler has instituted a new series of
medals for mothers of five or more children, with legitimacy no object
.... Latest recipe to come out of Vienna is one for an "Axis cocktail"
It consists of Russian vodka plus Italian vermouth .... At this stage
you're supposed to ask what Germany's contribution to the cocktail
might he ... And the answer is that Naziland provides the ice ... .
All of which reminds us to tell you that Wall Streeters are expecting
a general peace to break out over in Europe any week now .
THE ZIONIST FRONT
Vladimir Jabotinsky is telling his intimates that when he returns
to the U. S. from his flying trip to South America he will stay) here till
he conquers American ewishpublic opinion .... Now that Poland no
longer exists he's planning to make America the center of Revisionist
activities .... What is happening to the $4,000,000 loan that Dr. Chaim
VYeuzmian projected during his \ isit here? .... If it isn't gotten within
the next few months it won't he needed at all. because by that time
the campaign funds will have raised that much for Palestine .
Don't be surprised if the Palestine Pavilion at the New York World's
Fair will decide to w:ihdraw from the 1940 season .... The World's
Fair authorities are showing a deplorable lack of understanding of
the tremendous he ,. that this Pavilijn was last season in bringing in
millions of cash c stomers .... If one considers thut the Polish and
Czech pavilions represent countries that are no longer on the map, one
can see no reas n why the masters of etiquette at the Fair should take
so red-tapis* ,< attitude on the status of the Palestine building among
the foreign pavilions.....
University Will
Share in Estate
New York (WNS)The He-
brew University will receive $100,-
000 according to provisions in the
will of the late Samuel Unter-
meyer. prominent attorney and
foe of Nazism, who died last
month. The bequest is subject to
certain conditions which were not
disclosed.
Untermeyer's 70-acre Greystone
estate in Yonkers which was willed
to New York State, was not ac-
cepted because of the high cost of
maintenance.
THIS AND THAT
The late Reuben Brainin's much-discussed diaries have now been
published in part, at Volume III of his Collected Works One of
the celebrities under fire in these pages from the Hebrew dean's dia-ies
is Shalom Asch. author of "The Nazarene" .... That Jewish medical
school for New York City is no longer merely a dream Its opening
date has been scheduled for October 1st .... Bridge ace Rlv Colbert-
son has waved autobiographic .... His life-storv. entitled "The
Strange Lives of One Man," is due to appear this month_____Hearing
r.O.OOO divorce cases is quite some record, and reconciling one out of
every seven divorce-seeking couples is even more of an achievement
but that's what Judge Joseph Sabath of Chicago has done in his 40
years of judicial service ....
STAR DUST
Orchids to Warner Brothers, who have signed Albert Basserman
on a long-term contract .... Basserman, who is over 70. is unques
tionably the greatest of German actors------Though he is a full-blooded
"Aryan" he refused to work under the swastika .... Now they claim
that Charlie Chaplin is holding up release of "The Dictator" until Sum-
ner Welles makes his report to President Roosevelt .... The know-it-
alls say that if Welles' report on Mussolini is favorable Chaplin will
tone down the reference to II Duce------David O. Selznick, who in the
past few months put across such highly acceptable discoveries as In-
grid Bergman and Vivien Leigh, may cop the credit for rediscovering
Luise Rainer------Her success in the legitimate "Saint Joan" may give
her the lead in the Joan of Arc film Selznick is planning Not to
be outdone by his ex-wife, Hedy Lamarr. Frit* Mandl, once an Austrian
munitions king, is turning his attention to the flickers now But
it's the producing end that he'll be interested in____Francine Larri
more, niece of the late Jacob P. Adler, Yiddish theatrical star bas
been away from Broadway for many years, but is expected to return
before long in a new Sinclair Lewis play.....Eddie Cantor's next pic-
ture, our Hollywood scout reports, will center about a character who
can find no peace because of his strange resemblance to one Eddie
Cantor .... The hero of Albert Bein's new play, "Heavenly Express,"
is a youth who loses a leg while riding the railswhich is an experi-
ence of which Bern has first-hand knowledge .... John Garfield, who
is returning to Broadway in the stellar role of Bein's play, continues
to use the "Americanized" first name which Hollywood insisted on giv-
ing him (although it's a 100 per cent Hebraic monicker, replacing the
Franco-Roman "Jules"), but his close friends still call him Julie ....

ARAB-JEWISH AMITY
Arab and Jewish citrus growers are forming a joint delegation to
go to London and seek government aid for the war-stricken Palestine
citrus industry.
Jewish physicians are beginning to move back to the Arab towns
which they had quit during the Arab disorders, when it was not safe
for Jews to live among Arabs.
The ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, the chief trouble-maker among the
Arabs, is not being heard from these days.
All these are signs of growing amity between Arabs and Jews in
a land which has witnessed little respite from bloodshed since April
1936.
It is. so far, only the seed of cooperation
How the seed will grow will depend largely on how fertile the
soil of Arab-Jewish relations is kept, how well Arab and Jewish lead-
ers nurture the delicate plant
These encouraging signs of amity are largely a result of the war.
In the first place, the Arabs realize that strife in Palestine now would
weaken Britain, which is their chief bulwark against the spread of
Commun-Nazism. In the second place, the war has resulted in economic
stringency, which makes strife a folly.
What tilie fruit of Arab-Jewish amity might be as it is kept
growing is indicated in a dispatch from London which reports that the
British government would consider scrapping the Palestine White
Paper if the Arabs and Jews would come together and reach an under-
standing.
It is much too optimistic to state at this juncture that such an
understanding is a probability. But it is at least a possibilty which is
well worth the most earnest efforts of Arab and Jewish leaders alike.

Guest Columnist
It Beems that no one is safe
from our column editor, Harold
Turk. Talk about city editors of
newspapers being hard-boiled
they sure have nothing on Har-
old.
Try as hard as I could. I couldn't
talk myself out of writing the
column today, so here I amShall
I do a Walter Winchell or a Gen.
Hugh Johnson? Maybe I'll just
do a Harold Turk. But enough fa-
cetiousness.
Time was when very few of our
co-religionists in the community
were members of the B'nai B'rith,
and the influence of the Lodge
was exceedingly small. As time
progressed and Hitler. Stalin and
Mussolini made us realize.we were
Jews, we strove to align ourselves
into an organization which was
non-political, but was striving to
aid the Jewish people to do great
service to our country and to our
co-religionists.
Today. Miami has the largest
Lodge of B'nai B'rith in the State.
But that isn't enough. Our I,arge
should be one of the largest in
the country.
If you are not a member, while
reading this column make up your
mind to immediately call Brother
Leo Eisenstein at phone 5-2735,
chairman of our membership com-
mittee, to send you an application
to our Lodge and join at once. You
will be doing yourself a good turn.
If you are a member, your pride
in your organization shall now
assert itself (I hope).
On. May 19 and 20 of the year,
Convention of the Fifth Dis-
the
trict of B'nai B'rith, of which
District our Lodge is a part, will
be held at Roanoke, Virginia. Our
good Brother, Ike Levin, is slated
for President of the District, but
we need a good representation of
delegates at the Convention to as-
sure his election. Furthermore,
we are trying to bring next year's
convention down to Miami. Each
Lodge is allowed one delegate
with voting power for each twen.
ty-five paid up members. Our
President. Brother Abbott, can get
the delegates if we get the mem.
bars.
I have found that B'nai B'rith
doesn't have to be sold- Non-
members are really only waiting
to be approached. They know all
about B'nai B'rith, all you have to
do is to get their application. It
HELP! HELP!
Brother Leo Eisenstein. chair-
man of the Membership Com-
mittee of B'nai B'rith, makes
the following announcement to
the members:
"A Raiding Committee hav-
ing been formulated an I raids
upon our Treasury having been
oved at each meeting, so
that our financial condition is
becoming precarious, it is neces-
sary that an intensive mem'iei -
siii|> drive be undertaken imme-
diately.

Lodge. Sholem Lodge has ex-
pended approximately $2,000.00
during the first three months of
1940 on extremely worthwhile
projects. We cannot meet our
ordinary obligations, however,
and assume additional obliga-
tions in the way of defense
programs, scholarships, dona-
tions' etc., unless our Treasury
is replenished by means of ini-
tiation fee-.
"Every Brother who has here-
tofore voted for any appro,'! :.i-
tion should be willing to help
pay for same by securing a new
member for our Lodge. Let us
not fail in our responsibility "
have the Convention here next
year.
LET'S GET THOSE MEMBERS!

Dear Brother Meehlowitz:
I accept your apology. But re-

civic record, having, during his
seven and one-half years as Jus-
tice of the Peace, cleared 116]
criminal eases and 902 civil cas -
in the Miami Beach Court, in ad-
dition to numerous cases in the
first and second districts of Miami
at various times throughout the
years, when he was called upon to
sit i ntheir courts in the absence
of the presiding judges. He re-
sides with his wife at their own

Spessard L. Holland, candidate
for Governor of the State of Flor-
ida, is making his race for this
office on his eight year's record in
the Florida senate where he spon-
sored and voted for such meas-
ures as the Workmen's Compel
sation Act, the Unemployment In-
surance Act. Free school books,
teachers' retirement and other
measures for the benefit of all
peoples and all sections of the
State. Senator Holland specifi
ally pledges harmonious relations
with Legislature and Cabinet, ap-
pointment on merit rather than
polities, business management of
the state's important agencies,
repeal of gross receipts tax, im-
provement of schools, promotion
of agriculture, more attractions
for tourists, conservation of re-
sources, encouragement of avia-
tion as a state industry, and econ-
omy in public expenditures, more
value for the tax dollar. He be-
lieves that he has served the pee-
ing room. After Jhe regular or- | pie of his country and all of Flor-
der of business was over, the La-
dies joined the men and Herman
Waitsman showed some of the
technicolor pictures that were tak-
en at the Miami cBach Playhouse
affair of the B'nai B'rith.
It certainly was a thrill fo- the
members to see themselves
screened.
Our guest speaker. Rabbi Max
David Eichhorn, made a very in-
teresting speech. His topic was
"The Problems of Our Youth's
Future." and Rabbi Eichhorn is
ida ably and honestly; and will
continue to serve them ably and
honestly if elected to the office of
Governor.
Roscoe Brunstetter, candidate
for Judge of the Circuit Court

He suggested that it was a
problem of parents and adults and
not the youths. He disapproves of
TELLING our youth to "have

the parents and the adults t,
PROVIDE our youth with some-
thing to have courage, faith and

For a long time. B'nai B'rith.

brothers who are in business know
that it is always easy to sell a

productin fact, you don't sell it,
they call for it. Our co-religion-
ists who are non-members are cry-
ing for applications.
Almost all of the Jewish peo-
ple in Miami know of the good
work Brother Ike Levin has been
dohg for our co-religionists, not
only here but elsewhere. It would
be a fitting tribute to him to see
that he is elected to President of
the Fifth District of B'nai B'rith.
Since the history of B'nai B'rith

CHILD GUIDANCE

(The writer will be glad to an.
Bwei any problem of his readers.
Write to him in care of this pa-
per.)
Because of the favorable re-
sponse to the specific eases of |
problem parents listed here in re-
cent articles, we will acquaint you
with still another common ailment
of problem parents.
Bill's father is very ambitious
for his son. He thinks father
knows best. Certainly, as a fath-
er, he is older and more experi-
enced than his son. He wants
great things for Bill (what father
does not).
It is tue, Bill's not much of a
hand with books. He good nat-
uredly does his best but his heart
is not in them. That heart is in
the rhythm of a motor. Bill is
a wizard with mechanisms. He
lias some ideas which he firmly
believes would revolutionize the
automobile industry. His mechan-
ical aptitude tests showed an ex-
cellent score.
"Won't you be proud erf Bill if
he accomplishes his hope?" we
asked his father. Oh, you have
always intended that he should
be a lawyer. But Bill hates the
idea. Too bad. Yet there are
already so many second and third
rate lawyers, and Bill will very
likely be first class in his chosen
field. What. Do I hear you
right? You insist that he go
through college and law school?
You'll pay his way, but you are
his father and as such, should
have the say as to what the
money goes for. It takes sacri-
fice nowadays to send a boy
through college. Sacrifice.

found yourselves in any of the sit-

rible, the most miraculous of pow-
ers lies in your own hands for use

The problems of children are
many and they call for all the
love, understanding and sympathy
that parents possess. They call
for an ability to recollect your
own childhood vagaries and to be
patient with those of your child-
ren: to see them in the throes of
first love and keep a straight face
and a sober heart; to loosen the
bonds of family life and parental
authority, so that they will not
chafe and worry them; to make
them feel your love and loyalty
as their last line of defense, which
moves up behind them in all their
battles and gives them courage
and inspiration. Youds is a grave
responsibility. Tlease don't fail

IN MEMORIAM
The entire membership of the
Young Men's Hebrew Associa-
tion and its affiliated organiza-
tions join with the thousands of
other citizens in mourning the
loss of our late Mayor Everett
G. Sewell, who departed this
life on Tuesday last. The com-
munity has suffered a severe
loss as a result of his demise.
No man, since Miami was in-
corporated, has played a great-
er part in the communal and
public life of this city than has
the late Mayor.
We extend our sympathies
and condolences to his family
in this, their hour of bereave-
ment.

Talmud Torah: It is gratifyr.ig
to see the continued attendance
at the Hebrew classes throughout
the week. We admit emphatically
that Sunday School training for

We therefore urge parents to see
the wisdom of actively participat-

the Talmud Torah.
Sunday School: Our well or-
ganized and experienced members
of the faculty are now in the midst
of a discussion in their classes

FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1940 THE JEWISH FLORIDIAN PAGE FIVE X % l CHILD GUIDANCE By Joseph A. Berman (The writer will be glad to an. Bwei any problem of his readers. Write to him in care of this paper.) Because of the favorable response to the specific eases of | problem parents listed here in recent articles, we will acquaint you with still another common ailment of problem parents. Bill's father is very ambitious for his son. He thinks father knows best. Certainly, as a father, he is older and more experienced than his son. He wants great things for Bill (what father does not). It is tue, Bill's not much of a hand with books. He good naturedly does his best but his heart is not in them. That heart is in the rhythm of a motor. Bill is a wizard with mechanisms. He lias some ideas which he firmly believes would revolutionize the automobile industry. His mechanical aptitude tests showed an excellent score. "Won't you be proud erf Bill if he accomplishes his hope?" we asked his father. Oh, you have always intended that he should be a lawyer. But Bill hates the idea. Too bad. Yet there are already so many second and third rate lawyers, and Bill will very likely be first class in his chosen field. What. Do I hear you right? You insist that he go through college and law school? You'll pay his way, but you are his father and as such, should have the say as to what the money goes for. It takes sacrifice nowadays to send a boy through college. Sacrifice.

They call for an ability to recollect your own childhood vagaries and to be patient with those of your children: to see them in the throes of first love and keep a straight face and a sober heart; to loosen the bonds of family life and parental authority, so that they will not chafe and worry them; to make them feel your love and loyalty as their last line of defense, which moves up behind them in all their battles and gives them courage and inspiration.

It helps to create a definite Jewish character which no parent should deprive their children of receiving. Bar Mitzvah Group: The "BarMitzvah" group meet every Sun. day morning from 9 to 10 under the direction y of Louis Gadon; boys of 12 and over are eligible to attend. The boys are taught the melodies for the different "Portions of Law." Talmud Torah: It is gratifyr.ig to see the continued attendance at the Hebrew classes throughout the week. We admit emphatically that Sunday School training for our children is certainly not sufficient. Children can appreciate the values of our Hebraic civilization only by attending the liebrew classes which are held daily We therefore urge parents to see the wisdom of actively participating, and sending their children to the Talmud Torah.

(Special)  Senat: Charles O. Andrews is a certain winner in his race for re-election it was predicted here Thursday in a poll conduclied by the Or. lando Morning' Sentinel among 7. HI m delegates to the convention of the Florida Education Association, reporter worked haphnzamong the school officials and teachers, u-^ing the question. "Who do you think will carry your unty for United States Senator?" With one exception Che answer was "Senator Andrews" and the majority of those questioned amplified their opinion by the statement that they think he will i i re-nominated in the first primary. Concluding question in this crOSS-SectiOII revealed that thus, interviewed were as widely separated as P'ensacola and Miami, with numerous scattered counties in state-wide array. Dan Chappell, well known in po licical and civic circles for a long number of yearsis now a candidate for State Senator in the coming elections. He served as State Representatives for a number of lyears. Pledging himself to be Itruly a representative of Dade [County, Mr. Chappell has among the planks of his platform the establishment of a medical school in Florida, a guaranteed revenue sufficient to pay the school teachers an adequate salary. Judge Paul D. Barns, a candiI date for re-election to the bench of the Circuit and Civil Court, [which he has occupied for fourI teen years, attributes whatever le[gal erudition possessed by him to the lawyes of the Dade County [bar and his study of nationwide [legal reports. Those coming in [contact with Judge Barns claims [him as one of, if not the ablest j members of the Florida circuit, [although his judgeship is not based I so much on his mastery of the law, but rather, his hold on the [affections of the people which are [ascribed to his interpretation of justice. His success, they say, is based on equity that guarantees every defendant, every plaintiff, whelher represented by brilliant or mediocre legal talent, fair and impartial hearing. They point out Judge Barns is known for the fact that "He doesn't play ball." but rather that he fails to take the easiest way out of law cases appearing in his court even though he might lose some of his popularity and insists on delving deeper into the merits of a hearing, yet withal, his decisions when taken to a higher court, generally are upheld because of the wisdom, thoroughness, and the justice expoundedFederation Holds S. E. Conference Eric M. Warburg of New York City will address the Sunday evening Dinner meeting if the Southern Regional Conference, Council Of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, meeting in Birmingham. Alabama on April 6 and 7, announced Mervyn II. Sterne, of Birmingham, chairman of the Program Committee. The general subject of the Sunday evening meeting will be "The Stranger in Our Midst." Mr. Warburg, who is chairman of the Resettlement Department and a member of the Executive Committee of the Nati inal Refugee Service, will speak in "Receiving New Coiners" and will describe the work of the National Refugee .Service in aiding the process ol resettlement and adjustment: to the American scene. The Conference will open on Saturday evening with a symposium on "Jews as Good Neighbors." A round table period on Sunday afternoon will begin with the discussion: "Budgeting: All Agencies Other Than Overseas and Refugee," byM JKopelowitz, chairman of the Budget Committee of the Greater Miami Federation of Jewish Welfare Funds. Nazis Execute Jewish Prisoners Ralph Pole, Justice of the Peace for the Fifth District. Miami Beach, is a candidate for reelection in the coming primaries. Judge Pole has been a resident of Miami Beach for 16 years coming here from Philadelphia, and served as Judge of the Miami Beach Municipal Court before seeking election as Justice of the Peace in 1932. He bases his qualifications (Continued on Page Four) Amsterdam (WNS)Two hundred and eighty Jewish soldiers, captured last September with the Polish army, were executed by Nazi firing squads last month, it was reliably reported here. Before their execution the Jewish war prisoners were compelled to dig their own graves. With disregard for treaties providing for humane treatment of wir prisoners, all Jewish soldiers who had fought with the Polish army have been singled out and sent to special concentration camps. Because of overcrowded conditions in the concentration camps the Nazi authorities recently decided to send Jews taken prisoner during the war to the Lublin Jewish "reservation." ,' Examination of their birth certificates disclosed, however, that 280 of the Jewish prisoners were born in that part of Poland which formerly be longed to Russia. The Jews were packed into open cattle trains and transported, without food, to the Soviet border. The soldiers were refused admittance by Soviet authorities who claimed that the Jews were no longer Soviet subjects The Nazi commander in charge of the prison train then ordered the men executed. They were shot down by machine gun squads close to the Soviet border. The Jewish community was compelled to sign affidavits stating that the men had frozen to death. U. SVisas Await Poles London (WNS) Appr ximately 5,000 immigration visas to the United States are available to Poles under the present quota, which expires at the end of June but there is no method of distribution since the Nazi'authorities have ordered all American con BUlar officials 10 leave Roland, it was disci sod here. Current American quota provides for 6,000 immigration visas. Because distribution of the visas was stopped when the Nazis invaded Roland last September on'y 1,000 of these visas have been issued. When the American officials were ordered to leave Warsaw there were more tha 5,000 applicants registered with the consulate. The distribution of the visas among these Polish Jews may mean the difference between life and death. Diplomatic circles here are confident that the application of pressure by Americans on Washington will result in the distribution of the unused visas. It was suggested here that American consuls now in Berlin could make visits to Warsaw from time to time to distribute the visas. It is probable that Polish citizens now living in Germany may be able to receive the visas when the Warsaw American consulate opens offices in Berlin. Strictly Confidential TIDBITS FROM EVERYWHERE (BY PHINEAS J. UIRON) Italy Enforces More Laws Rome (WNS)  New Economic restrictions against Jewish merchants and professionals seemed inevitable here as trade and professional associations moved to deprive .lews of membership ami licenses. The Italian Commerce Association has announced that Jews will be denied renewal of licenses for coffee stands and tobacco shops at the end of the year. The Asso. ciation stipulated also that the Jews may not sell or transfer their licenses to "Aryans." It was learned also that the unions of lawyers and physicians in Ancona have warned their members not to accept Jewish clients or patients except in instances of greatest emergency and for humanity's sake.

The World's Fair authorities are showing a deplorable lack of understanding of the tremendous he ,. that this Pavilijn was last season in bringing in millions of cash c stomers ....

Jewish physicians are beginning to move back to the Arab towns which they had quit during the Arab disorders, when it was not safe for Jews to live among Arabs. The ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, the chief trouble-maker among the Arabs, is not being heard from these days. All these are signs of growing amity between Arabs and Jews in a land which has witnessed little respite from bloodshed since April 1936. It is. so far, only the seed of cooperation How the seed will grow will depend largely on how fertile the soil of Arab-Jewish relations is kept, how well Arab and Jewish leaders nurture the delicate plant These encouraging signs of amity are largely a result of the war. In the first place, the Arabs realize that strife in Palestine now would weaken Britain, which is their chief bulwark against the spread of Commun-Nazism. In the second place, the war has resulted in economic stringency, which makes strife a folly. What tilie fruit of Arab-Jewish amity might be as it is kept growing is indicated in a dispatch from London which reports that the British government would consider scrapping the Palestine White Paper if the Arabs and Jews would come together and reach an understanding. It is much too optimistic to state at this juncture that such an understanding is a probability. But it is at least a possibilty which is well worth the most earnest efforts of Arab and Jewish leaders alike.

Louis Mechlowltz Guest Columnist It Beems that no one is safe from our column editor, Harold Turk. Talk about city editors of newspapers being hard-boiled  they sure have nothing on Harold. Try as hard as I could. I couldn't talk myself out of writing the column today, so here I amShall I do a Walter Winchell or a Gen. Hugh Johnson? Maybe I'll just do a Harold Turk. But enough facetiousness. Time was when very few of our co-religionists in the community were members of the B'nai B'rith, and the influence of the Lodge was exceedingly small. As time progressed and Hitler. Stalin and Mussolini made us realize.we were Jews, we strove to align ourselves into an organization which was non-political, but was striving to aid the Jewish people to do great service to our country and to our co-religionists. Today. Miami has the largest Lodge of B'nai B'rith in the State. But that isn't enough. Our I,arge should be one of the largest in the country. If you are not a member, while reading this column make up your mind to immediately call Brother Leo Eisenstein at phone 5-2735, chairman of our membership committee, to send you an application to our Lodge and join at once. You will be doing yourself a good turn. If you are a member, your pride in your organization shall now assert itself (I hope). On. May 19 and 20 of the year, Convention of the Fifth Disthe trict of B'nai B'rith, of which District our Lodge is a part, will be held at Roanoke, Virginia. Our good Brother, Ike Levin, is slated for President of the District, but we need a good representation of delegates at the Convention to assure his election. Furthermore, we are trying to bring next year's convention down to Miami. Each Lodge is allowed one delegate with voting power for each twen. ty-five paid up members. Our President. Brother Abbott, can get the delegates if we get the mem. bars. I have found that B'nai B'rith doesn't have to be soldNonmembers are really only waiting to be approached. They know all about B'nai B'rith, all you have to do is to get their application. It HELP! HELP! Brother Leo Eisenstein. chairman of the Membership Committee of B'nai B'rith, makes the following announcement to the members: "A Raiding Committee having been formulated an I raids upon our Treasury having been oved at each meeting, so that our financial condition is becoming precarious, it is necessary that an intensive mem'iei siii|> drive be undertaken immediately. "lie-sides dues to the Grand Lodge. Sholem Lodge has expended approximately $2,000.00 during the first three months of 1940 on extremely worthwhile projects. We cannot meet our ordinary obligations, however, and assume additional obligations in the way of defense programs, scholarships, donations' etc., unless our Treasury is replenished by means of initiation fee-. "Every Brother who has heretofore voted for any appro,'! :.ition should be willing to help pay for same by securing a new member for our Lodge. Let us not fail in our responsibility have the Convention here next year. LET'S GET THOSE MEMBERS!   Dear Brother Meehlowitz: I accept your apology. But really want to thank you for your column. At our last regular meeting at the Miami Women's Club the Ladies Auxiliary met in the adjoii.POLITICAL BRIEFS (Continued from Page One) for re-election on his political and civic record, having, during his seven and one-half years as Justice of the Peace, cleared 116] criminal eases and 902 civil cas in the Miami Beach Court, in addition to numerous cases in the first and second districts of Miami at various times throughout the years, when he was called upon to sit i ntheir courts in the absence of the presiding judges. He resides with his wife at their own home at 1537 Washington A.,. Miami Beach. Spessard L. Holland, candidate for Governor of the State of Florida, is making his race for this office on his eight year's record in the Florida senate where he sponsored and voted for such measures as the Workmen's Compel sation Act, the Unemployment Insurance Act. Free school books, teachers' retirement and other measures for the benefit of all peoples and all sections of the State. Senator Holland specifi ally pledges harmonious relations with Legislature and Cabinet, appointment on merit rather than polities, business management of the state's important agencies, repeal of gross receipts tax, improvement of schools, promotion of agriculture, more attractions for tourists, conservation of resources, encouragement of aviation as a state industry, and economy in public expenditures, more value for the tax dollar. He believes that he has served the peeing room. After Jhe regular or| pie of his country and all of Florder of business was over, the Ladies joined the men and Herman Waitsman showed some of the technicolor pictures that were taken at the Miami cBach Playhouse affair of the B'nai B'rith. It certainly was a thrill fothe members to see themselves screened. Our guest speaker. Rabbi Max David Eichhorn, made a very interesting speech. His topic was "The Problems of Our Youth's Future." and Rabbi Eichhorn is ida ably and honestly; and will continue to serve them ably and honestly if elected to the office of Governor. Roscoe Brunstetter, candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida in Division "A," has resided in Miami since 1936 coming here from Pittsburgh. Pa. Mr. Brunstetter has been active in Miami communal projects, having worked for the establishment oi" qualified to speak on this topic as the University of Miami of which he has been connected with activihe is now a trustee. ties of youth for many years. He suggested that it was a problem of parents and adults and not the youths. He disapproves of TELLING our youth to "have courage," "have faith," "have hope." and feels that it is up to the parents and the adults t, PROVIDE our youth with something to have courage, faith and hope in. For a long time. B'nai B'rith. including our Ixxlge. has been interested in this problem and has merely means a little time but no sought to help our youth through effort from the brothers. You brothers who are in business know that it is always easy to sell a well-known, nationally-advertised productin fact, you don't sell it, they call for it. Our co-religionists who are non-members are crying for applications. Almost all of the Jewish people in Miami know of the good work Brother Ike Levin has been dohg for our co-religionists, not only here but elsewhere. It would be a fitting tribute to him to see that he is elected to President of the Fifth District of B'nai B'rith. Since the history of B'nai B'rith there has ever been a District President from Florida. This is our chance. Let's not lose this opportunity to kill not two, but three birds with one stoneFirst, by increasing our membership our Lodge will have the honor of hav. ing the First District President from Florida; secondly, we shall show our appreciation to Brother Ike Levin; and thirdly, we can its Vocational Guidance, Students Union and Hillel work.
